2014 PCA Set To Kick Off on Sunday, January 5th

Many of the top poker players in the world will soon be making their ways to the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas for the 2014 PCA (Pokerstars Caribbean Adventure).

The Pokerstars Caribbean Adventure has become one of the most popular stops on the live poker tour, thanks, in large part, to the warm locale. Many parts of the world are currently suffering from extremely cold temperatures, which makes the PCA a particularly enticing tournament stop.

This year's PCA will kick off with the Super High Roller event which will get underway on Sunday, January 5th. This tournament, which was won by Scott Seiver last year ($2,003,480), has unlimited re-entries and a buy-in of $100,000. 47 players turned out for last year's event, which created a total prize pool of $5,724,180.

Players with smaller bankrolls will get their opportunities starting on Monday, January 6th, as a total of four events will get underway, including Event #3 ($2,000 + $200 NLHE Turbo) and Event #5 ($360 + $40 NLHE Turbo).

Given the $10 million guarantee, this year's PCA main event has a great chance of being the fourth largest in history behind the 2009 (1,347 players), 2010 (1,529 players) and 2011 (1,560 players) events.
